Timbaland is up for making a country album with Justin Timberlake. :(

The ‘news’ was ‘teased’ by Timbo himself in an interview with TMZ (as quoted here). Asked about Timberlake’s recent performance of ‘The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2”s ‘Drink You Away’ at the CMA Awards, and if the success of it could lead to a country album, Timbaland said: “Now that you put it out there, why not?”

He then said that given he has a house in Nashville and that both he and ‘JT’ “are country” (Justin’s from Tennessee and Timbo is from Virginia), it’s “only right that we try to tap into what we was raised in.”
